Instructions

Let's change things a bit: make the Character as abstract. You can now try to instantiate a Character object, it will fail :)

Change attack and takeDamage methods : make them abstract too.

Now, if you try to launch an example, it will fail. Indeed, you need to implement both methods in all subclasses. Do this as follows :

Remember that in all cases, currentHealth should not be lower than 0.

• For Monster class :
  • the method attack should make 7 damages to the character in parameter.
  • the method takeDamage should take 80% of all the damages, rounded to the inferior integer.
• For the Sorcerer class :
  • the method attack should heal itself (using the heal method) then make 10 damages to the character in parameter.
  • the method takeDamage should take all the damages.
• For the Templar class :
  • the method attack should heal itself (using the method heal) then make 6 damages to the character in parameter.
  • the method takeDamage should take the damage given in parameter minus the shield value.

Usage

Here is a possible ExerciseRunner.java to test your function :

public class ExerciseRunner {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Templar alistair = new Templar("Alistair", 18, 2, 4);
        Sorcerer morrigan = new Sorcerer("Morrigan", 21, 5);
        Monster dragon = new Monster("Dragon", 12);

        dragon.attack(alistair);
        dragon.attack(morrigan);
        
        alistair.attack(dragon);
        morrigan.attack(dragon);

        System.out.println(Character.printStatus());
    }
}

and its output :

$ javac *.java -d build
$ java -cp build ExerciseRunner
